Cannot stop thinking about how this scene echoes Christ resurrecting Lazarus. The almost medieval look to the Creature's dressings--how they're like burial shrouds unraveling.

No idea if Mike Hill, Del Toro, or Kate Hawley had this in mind, but his design in the awakening scenes (and the "unwrapping" of the Creature) remind me a lot of Lazarus in The Last Temptation of Christ.

How there's something both profoundly disturbing yet deeply beautiful about Lazarus. How, like Victor, Christ also looks terrified and awed that it worked. How Lazarus is dazed yet focused solely on Christ--how the Creature does the same with Victor.

The mummy-like wrappings, the gaunt, elegant fingers marbled with rot and decay reaching for the resurrectionist, the creator. How this film leans hard into the body horror inherent in--and even essential to--Catholicism. I am obsessed.

Also thought immediately of The Raising of Lazarus by Eduard von Gebhardt. Dazed and born anew but with the pallor of death still painted firmly on his skin:

Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.

Kids books is probably not the best way to word it, you can enjoy them at every age, including your childhood, as you get older you may find new truths in them, but they're still good for any age.

I want you to understand this. I NEED you to understand this. My mother read me the hobbit as bedtime story, and I started pushing myself to read before pre-school so I could in fact read the hobbit for myself instead of having to wait for bedtime.

I didn't do so right away but jesus wept I PUSHED myself to learn to read SPECIFICALLY so I could read The Hobbit! It is, in fact, a children's story! And children only see page count as 'there is a lot of this fun story to read!'

Guillermo del Toro’s spellbinding take on one of the most enduring of all modern myths, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, imbues the classic tale with new depths of humanity while pushing it toward dazzling heights of gothic grandeur. Shifting between the perspectives of the brilliant but callous Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) and the creature (Jacob Elordi) he fashions from flesh and then cruelly mistreats, del Toro movingly reframes the legend as a story of fathers and sons struggling to break free from cycles of trauma. A decades-in-the-making triumph of darkly ravishing visual invention and operatic storytelling, Frankenstein is a deeply personal statement from a director who has long been drawn to the realm where men and monsters merge.
